## Resource

Former Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema is now facing a high-stakes lawsuit in North Carolina after her romantic involvement with Matthew Ammel — a former bodyguard and Army veteran — allegedly led to the collapse of his marriage. The ex-wife, invoking a controversial “homewrecker law,” claims Sinema knowingly pursued Ammel despite knowing he was married, ultimately causing their divorce. While Sinema admits to the affair and even described it as sexual during a deposition, her legal team argued she shouldn’t be sued in North Carolina due to lack of state ties. But a recent judge’s ruling allows the case to proceed, setting the stage for a potentially explosive legal battle over emotional damages and personal accountability.
